With all those delicious turkey leftovers, here are a few
recipes we look forward to each year after Thanksgiving!!!

TURKEY CHOWDER

My friend Debi Nancarrow shared this recipe with me in
1985 that had become not only a family favorite of theirs but
also part of their "Twelfth Night Party" Celebration
tradition. The recipe has been published in a coffee table book
celebrating Colorado Christmas traditions and it is probably in
other books as well. I guarantee this recipe is a winner for
those leftover bits of turkey.

If you make homemade turkey stock from the leftover bones the
flavor skyrockets to a perfect "10"! Even if you can't
try this recipe out this year, be sure to save the recipe for
future use. I usually double the amounts to have some soup for
the freezer. If you let the soup sit a day, the flavor improves
with age. We've eaten this in bread bowls that I've made. Fabulous!

1. Cook pasta according to package directions until just barely
tender or use leftover spaghetti or other pasta. Rinse, and drain.

2. Make the sauce by blending flour into melted butter and
cook and stir over medium heat about 1 minute; remove from heat.
Blend in milk and chicken broth. Return to heat; cook and stir
until thickened.

3. Blend in sherry, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and mushrooms. Combine
pasta, turkey, and sauce and place in casserole dish. Top with
Parmesan Cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or
until bubbly. Make two casseroles, one for the freezer and one
to serve.

Spread cranberry sauce and cream cheese on opposite
sides of bread, and then simply layer on some cold left-
over turkey meat.
